I assume the drilled frame provides points of reference for the pin locations that a non-drilled frame does not.

I am impressed that Mr. Fraconlini decided to share this information, as the screwless frame has been a sort of guarded secret for years.

If you look at the photos, the hammer screw is at an angle and not perpendicular to the frame like the other two screws. Lining up screw holes in those frames is not easy without a jig.

Dave, any idea how the one ended up at SASS headquarters?

Fish?

I was looking last night, and didn't think the bolt and trigger pins were square to each other.

I was at EOT in 99 with the Colt rep, and had two prototypes in the glass case at the rear of the tent, along with the screwless. frame. Ron Dudsizc from Colt, some type of production coordinator, brought me out along with Annie and the other riders who used Colts. All those people were like fish. Ron said the gun didn't inspire any sales.

I don't know what you mean by, "All those people were like fish." Do you mean their mouths were gaping open, or they were cold to the idea, or what?
